ASS Melbourne Honkyoku Workshop with Riley Lee

The Australian Shakuhachi Society invites you to a one-day workshop to experience the art and sound of the Shakuhachi – the Japanese bamboo flute.

The workshop will be taught by Grand Master Riley Lee. In addition to teaching a honkyoku piece, Riley will also lead us through breathing and sound production techniques.

Schedule:
The workshop will be divided into morning and afternoon sessions, with the first session starting at 10.00 am and breaking for lunch at 12.00 pm. The workshop will resume for the afternoon session at 12.30 pm, and the day will conclude at 2.30 pm.

Breathing exercises, sound production, and honkyoku instruction will be divided between the sessions.

As the lunch break is not very long, and not many shops in the vicinity of the workshop are open on Sundays, we will have optional bento boxes delivered. Of course, you can bring your own lunch. Bottled water will be provided.
